I'll definitely answer them in a timely manner So let me be quiet. Let's hop on a computer and get started All right, so we on the computer So if you don't have photopeen say to your desktop like an app icon Basically, you can go to any web browser Google Chrome windows fireflot and type in photo P Spell it right there photo P Dot com and then once you hit dot com it should bring Should bring you to this screen that we are and This is what we're going to be using to create our design and Also, we want to be using this to get our image on there that way we can start putting that out So once you got photo, please load it up Look to the top left is file. I'm clicking on file So once you click on file, you should see new Click on new and this window will pop up and we'll have to name new project You can name it whatever you want For this demonstration, I'm going to be naming it ocean drive Right underneath the name is pixels right It's the blip So we're going to change the pixels to inches And the reason why I like to do it this way is because I know What sublimation size paper I'm using the size of my heat press and also This this is size of the printout as well So it's already set up for me. If you use the 8 and a half by 11 basically you'll type in 8.5 Then hit the tab to hit height 11 But I'm using 11 by 17, but I'm just gonna keep it 11 14 for this demonstration And then right below the DPI you should see background. It should already be white so click down arrow and You'll see black transparent in custom. You want to click on transparent Once you click on transparent for the background click create and You should have a canvas like this. This is your transparent background So to the left underneath the file is all these tools Okay, if you see the tools to be highlighted Alright, what you want to do is click on the type tool It's got to click on it one time once you click on the type tool go back to the top menu bar and Underneath filter and view is the size. It should be at 25 That 25 is move the arrow already to the right to get 150 pixels and It doesn't matter the size We'll just make it 150 you want to make it as big So that way when you using the type tool you can see the font Now to the left underneath select is regular and then right underneath image is The font name if you click on the down arrow It got all these funds And it should be an alphabetical order. So it's loading up for me. All right, and You see all these check marks and then you'll see fine for this demonstration. I'm gonna be using this big font right here It's called Titan One and the preview is going to show how big The phone is so you want the biggest status font for this demonstration and Also, you want a solid font so that way when you sub a mate onto this text You actually give it some life so Just click on type one for the demonstration if you find another font that's big Just keep your mind. You got to read that stuff out from the bottom So now what we want to do is click You click anywhere, but starting from the top left hand corner on the canvas Just do a left click pull down and you want to draw your text box ocean And it doesn't matter where it is Okay, if you look to the right Once you click on the layer the text layer it's going to change the ocean so on the right hand side On your screen, you should see the background That's our first text So one thing you don't want to do is press enter and Then keep typing. You won't be able to see it. Then you got to stretch out the box Then leaves a big old space and you won't be able to Manipulate the text by itself So we're gonna do one word at a time and you can do it however you want You want to do one word stretch out the whole word, but for this demonstration just follow along And if you make a mistake Go back to the top menu bar versus edit and you can click on do and it'll take that away So back to the tools on the left hand side to click on the letter T again Draw your text box You can type in whatever you want Okay Click on the letter T again below box underscore The way it is T again Y'all box do you want? Click it on the letter T again Draw on the box and you can type it whatever you want Now to move this stuff around Back to the file top left And right underneath the T is the mouse cursor The hover over it is called the move to Okay, looking on the left hand side near the top the move to click on it and Look back to your right the layer is selected Which is beach so I can move the beach and if you move it to the center will have a red line It's going straight through the letter or the font And that's your center part I'm gonna click on the south layer Move this to the middle Clicking on the underscore And you can actually just do this design. There's a find the center now if you see the cross See a red cross that's the center of your canvas Clicking on drive Move to the center Click it on the ocean layer Range this up There click on drive Ocean Beach Right about there now for the corners and the sides I leave about two two of these Gray and white squares as my measurement tool Like the border around your image just in case if you have the border set up for the printer The print settings and also the cricket has some kind of little border. They like to do to keep the cut so You see what I'm talking about when I start with beach so make sure that the Whatever you want to manipulate Don't start from the top to the bottom so beach is the last selected. What I want to do is to the right Start from the top to the bottom I'm gonna go to edit on the top left next to file at it And and we're gonna find free transform Click on that and you want to see these little squares around the box now you want the White up and down arrow or the diagonal arrow that way you can start Stretching out with text. I'm just gonna leave it like that. I'm gonna click on the south layer Go to edit Free transform stretch is bad boy out two pixels from the edge side Just down a little bit. I'm gonna click on the next layer underscore for the edit free transform And if you got something small like this, just be very careful go to the two pixels About there And stretch it out left to right And this is optional. You don't have to do this She want a quick line you can do this On to the next layer drive go back to edit free transform stretches out Go to the last layer, which is ocean go to edit free transform What you got to stretch out now you can go to each layer and make your adjustments Looks pretty good to me. I'm probably gonna bring this down a notch or a drive Or to edit and get up just a little bit Try to use as much real estate on the canvas that we can So that looks good underscore or the south I'm gonna make beach just a little bigger. There it is So once you get your text done big text and your finish Adjusting the size and everything go to file And we want to export this as in PNG Okay, you don't want SVG any of these other files.
